they are all over 70, wealthy third way democrats who live in the Washington DC area. Do they tip well? Yeah, they're ok tippers. But they don't understand at all why none of their kids or grandkids have bought homes or can live at the same lifestyle or level as themselves. Instead of seeing the increased economic costs that younger generations grapple with like working longer hours, student debts, childcare costs, housing costs, healthcare costs, etc (all the necessities) they think their offspring are possibly just screw ups that are unable to achieve the same as themselves. Despite their kids having gone to college and graduate school and having good jobs (that somehow don't afford them the same benefits or pay to get ahead). Part of it may be that the DC area never really feels the full impact of economic downturns. That's why my grandparents moved there during the depression. There were government jobs there when there were no jobs elsewhere. The world has changed a lot during their lifetimes and they don't understand why younger generations want change. They do see an opportunity to elect an intelligent woman as president and worry they might not get another chance in their lifetime if we don't do it now.
